  • Corneal Abrasion

    Corneal Abrasion

    Corneal Abrasion What is a corneal abrasion? A corneal abrasion is a scratch on the surface of the clear part of the eye (cornea). It is most commonly due to trauma/injury. What are the symptoms of a corneal abrasion? Pain which can be severe Foreign body sensation Blurred vision Sensitivity to light Tearing (watering eyes) Redness What is the treatment of a corneal abrasion? Eye medication: Antibiotic drops or ointment used 3-4 times a day to prevent infection Dilating drops to decrease pain if you have a large corneal abrasion (this relieves spasm of the internal eye muscles. Please note that it will blur vision-particularly with reading.This effect may last for a few days after drop has been ceased.) Additional pain relief: Oral paracetamol, paracetamol and codeine Ice packs (place over injured eye: eyelids closed, ice pack covered in soft cloth) Sunglasses out of doors While an anaesthetic eye drop relieves immediate pain and allows the doctor to examine your eye, these drops cannot be used at home since they interfere with the natural healing of the cornea. What are the possible complications of a corneal abrasion? Infection Blurred vision from scarring Recurrent erosion syndrome: recurrent irritation from a poorly healed abrasion is most common after trauma from a sharp object such as a fingernail or paper. Corneal Abrasion Page 1 of 2 Things to remember: Most corneal abrasions heal within 3-4 days with pain improving each day until it has healed completely Do not rub your eye after the injury Do not touch your eye with cotton buds or tweezers Do not wear contact lenses until the eye has healed fully Seek medical attention if there is persistent or worsening discomfort, redness or decreased vision.
  • Protocols for Injuries to the Eye Corneal Abrasion I

    Protocols for Injuries to the Eye Corneal Abrasion I

    PROTOCOLS FOR INJURIES TO THE EYE CORNEAL ABRASION I. BACKGROUND A corneal abrasion is usually caused by a foreign body or other object striking the eye. This results in a disruption of the corneal epithelium. II. DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA A. Pertinent History and Physical Findings Patients complain of pain and blurred vision. Photophobia may also be present. Symptoms may not occur for several hours following an injury. B. Appropriate Diagnostic Tests and Examinations Comprehensive examination by an ophthalmologist to rule out a foreign body under the lids, embedded in the cornea or sclera, or penetrating into the eye. The comprehensive examination should include a determination of visual acuity, a slit lamp examination and a dilated fundus examination when indicated. III. TREATMENT A. Outpatient Treatment Topical antibiotics, cycloplegics, and pressure patch at the discretion of the physician. Analgesics may be indicated for severe pain. B. Duration of Treatment May require daily visits until cornea sufficiently healed, usually within twenty-four to seventy-two hours but may be longer with more extensive injuries. In uncomplicated cases, return to work anticipated within one to two days. The duration of disability may be longer if significant iritis is present. IV. ANTICIPATED OUTCOME Full recovery. CORNEAL FOREIGN BODY I. BACKGROUND A corneal foreign body most often occurs when striking metal on metal or striking stone. Auto body workers and machinists are the greatest risk for a corneal foreign body. Hot metal may perforate the cornea and enter the eye. Foreign bodies may be contaminated and pose a risk for corneal ulcers. II. DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA A. Pertinent History and Physical Findings The onset of pain occurs either immediately after the injury or within the first twenty-four hours.

    Guidelines for Developing a Team Physician Services Agreement in the Secondary School

    Guidelines for Developing a Team Physician Services Agreement in the Secondary School The following document has been developed by the NATA Secondary School Athletic Trainers’ Committee in an effort to assist secondary school athletic trainers in strengthening and formalizing the relationship with a team physician. The included components for such an agreement have been suggested by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and NATA (see resources). Guidelines for Developing a Team Physician Agreement in the Secondary School is intended to serve as an overview of those key components as they apply to the secondary school setting. It should be noted that while all components cited have merit, not all may be practical for all situations. Variability with state and local regulations must also be considered.
